Bryant's preference might not line up with New York's. While Bryant could slide into the Brandon Marshall role alongside OBJ and Shepard, new general manager Dave Gettleman seems to be a man who would prefer to avoid the drama that comes along with Dez. The Giants also might not want to pay Bryant's asking price. Would Bryant take less money so he could face the Cowboys twice a year?

Bryant ran down a list with Fisher of what he thought of other teams -- including dismissing a Green Bay connection as "too much history" and how playing in L.A. could be "fun."

Bryant might have pegged the Giants as his No. 1 choice. He also might need to settle for a backup plan.
